Caption this. NASA astronauts Kate Rubins and Andre Douglas (Astro_AndreD) recently performed a simulated moonwalk in Arizona’s San Francisco Volcanic Field — under the watchful eye of a very curious local. The pair simulated lunar surface operations while being guided in real time by flight controllers and scientists at NASAJohnson in Houston. These field tests help refine how mission control will coordinate with astronauts during the Artemis III mission, which will mark the first time humans explore the lunar South Pole region.

The astronauts are working in the San Francisco Volcanic Field in northern Arizona, helping the agency prepare for the Artemis III mission. The setting is dry and rugged. A mountain is visible in the distance. Credit: NASA/Josh Valcarcel #CaptionThis #Artemis #Moon #Arizona #Science #Geology #Training
